BEFORE THE 



FENIAN CONGRESS AND FENIAN CHIEFS, 



DELIVERED AT THE 



ACADEMY OF MUSIC, PHILADELPHIA, 

ON 

Wednesday Evening, October 18th, 1865, 

IN THE PRESENCE OF SIX THOUSAND PERSONS. 



Notwithstanding the terrible inclemency of the night — 
the rain pouring down in torrents — the Fenian delegates 
in session at Philadelphia are moving to and fro on their 
important mission. You meet them everywhere, but they 
are so reticent, so guarded in their conversation it is almost 
impossible to know anything of their doings. The whole 
matter is rapt in an impenetrable mystery, but the earnest- 
ness of the men — their dignified manners — the fact that they 
represent all parts of the country; that generals, editors, 



20 TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 

bankers, lawyers and merchants are among them ; that they 
pay their own expenses, represent 300,000 organized' men, all 
tends to give importance to their action. They shrink from 
publicity, ignore popular applause, and count no outside 
assistance. 

For the first time, the convention were moved into a 
spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm. The President of the 
Central Council appeared about seven o'clock and read the 
Secretary of State's telegraphic dispatch to George Francis 
Train denouncing the calumny of the English press. The 
convention rose to their feet and made the welkin ring in 
cheers for Mr. Seward, the President, for Mr. Train and 
Ireland. The convention then at once adjourned and pro- 
ceeded to the Academy of Music, to hear Mr. Train, and 
headed by their band playing a national air, they marched 
six hundred sfrong, tramp, tramp, tramp, through the rain, 
with their Irish guards, dressed in the picturesque garb of . 
the Irish army, carrying banners and the American flag. 
The stage of the Academy of Music was crowded with 
Fenian chiefs. All the Head Centres were there, but many 
had to leave the stage and take their chances with the 
crowded audience. 

The distinguished lecturer was introduced by Lieutenant- 
Colonel Roberts, of New York, President of the Central 
Council, in the following words : — 

Ladies and Gentlemen: — I have the honor to introduce 
to you this evening the distinguished lecturer, who speaks 
as a free, enlightened American citizen, in behalf of Irish 
Republicanism. (Applause.) He is the embodiment, I trust 
in Heaven, of the sentiment that animates the heart of every 
true American, for liberty in every quarter of the globe. 
Allow me to introduce to you George Francis Train. 

The deafening and long-continued cheering with which the 
orator of the evening was received having somewhat sub- 
sided, he came forwarded in open dress — lavender kids, white

vest • dress coat, and brass buttons— hat in his hand, and 
stated he should take as his text the last slanders of the 
London press. 



ME. TRAIN'S SPEECH. 

Americans! For Irishmen are as much Americans as 
those who came to Jamestown or to Plymouth ten genera- 
tions ago. [Loud cheers.] I would that I could pass those 
cheers "along the line," and over the ocean to the men of 
Ireland, who at this moment st^nd upon tiptoe to catch the 
reverberations of just such cheers from this side of the 
water. (Applause.) 

They say that dear old Ireland has foes on every side, 
Who envy her, her conquests, her race, her fame, her pride, 
The Sassenach exulting vaunts all her strength is past, 
Dreaming her intruding sons shall bite the dust at last. 
But let them say whate'er they will, 

Her banner bears no stain ; 
The deeds old Ireland once has done, 
She yet can do again. . 

[Tremendeous excitement and applause^ 

(Mr Train then read extracts from Mr. Seward's speech in 
the Senate on General Shield's motives in 1851, about petition- 
in^ England for the release of Smith O'Brien and John Mit- 
chell and applied Mr. Seward's remarks to Ireland at the 
present time. The speech was received with great excitement 
and applause. We wish we had space to give it entire. Mr. 
Train then rung the charges in the TYme's.last leader, calling 
the Irish fools, tailors, ninnies.) ?hose are the words they 
have called the northern armies these four years. That 
reminds me of a little story that our friend here General 
Sweeney, the one-armed Fenian hero-told me an hour ago. 
(Cheers.) During the ' American Revolution the London 
press used the same slang terms. The theatre was the place 



22 train's speech to. THE FENIANS. 

for satire. The popular play was one ridiculing the Ameri- 
can army as composed of vulgar tradesmen. One scene was 
something like this : British officer — What is your name ? 
John Smith. ' What is your business? Tailor. (Here is 
where the laugh comes in.) Your name, sir ? Tom Jones. 
Business? Printer. (Sneering laugh.) Yours? Cobbler. 
(Loud laughter from the British audience.) Just at this 
moment some one shouted, with a peculiar nasal voice, 
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! The audience were startled. 
The voice, louder than before, yelled out. That is the best 
thing yet. The entire British army whipped by a lot of 
tailors, cobblers and printers. (Loud laughter and cheers.) 

"A batch (says the telegraph) of demented printers." 
Three eheers for the Irish press that can so startle a thou- 
sand-year-old monarchy into hysterics. (Loud laughter.) 
"A pugnacious tailor and mad hatter, a score of shopboys as 
mad as the hatter, a few publicans and a distracted militia- 
man." Hurrah for the tailor pugnacious that can shake an 
empire out of its nightmare. Andrew Johnson forever. 
(Loud cheers.) Hurrah for the Irish militiaman that braves 
the trained cohorts of England ! Hurrah for the Irish shop- 
boys that can make the old lady jump out of her bed in her 
night cap and night robe to order the British army to arrest 
them ! (Laughter and cheers.) Hurrah for the mad hatter 
who valorously dares England to tear up Magna Charta, 
throw the British Constitution into the Thames, and outrage 
all the sacred rights of which Englishmen are so proud. 
What a terrible crime (said the Times a little while ago) it is 
to make military arrests, open mail bags and suppress news- 
papers. Ah, Delan'e, we have you now on the gridiron. 
(Loud laughter.) Sir John Falstaff, thank God! was not 
born in Ireland. (Cheers and laughter.) 

A wail from haunted battle-field ascends ! 

As from their caverns hermit winds complain, 
And history shudders, as she o'er them bends, - 

To hear : " In vain ! In vain !" 



TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 23 

Had I been dwarfed down in this rebellion to a pot-house 
politician, a Chicago wigwam demagogue, a Baltimore Con- 
vention shoddy contractor, a Cleveland caucus bunkumite, 
(laughter), a political Major-General, or even a Senator from 
Massachusetts, (loud laughter and cheers), what I say to-night 
would have little effect ; but, inasmuch as I have preserved 
my individuality while a hetacomb of ambitious men are 
piled up along the roadside, and inasmuch as I have played 
the patriot without demanding pay for the patriotism [cheers] 
— defended the nation's integrity and honor without boring 
for office or Government patronage — inasmuch as I have 
stood by the rights of the white men, and for twenty years on 
all occasions and everywhere defended Ireland and the Irish 
(loud cheers, the audience rising and waving their hats for 
several minutes) — I have certainly strong opinions on the 
events of the age, that I will oblige mankind to respect. 
(Applause, and bully for Train.) 

I ask no favors of the public. I have no faith in popular 
applause. I feel with Henry Clay, I would rather be right 
than be President. (That's it.) My platform is easily com- 
prehended. France for the French, Italy for the Italians, 
Germany for the Germans, Asia, for the Asiatics, Africa for 
the Africans, (laughter), America, for the Americans, (ap- 
plause), and Ireland for the Irish, is God's law. But Hungary, 
Poland, Yenice and Ireland, show that " man's inhumanity to 
man makes countless thousands mourn." 

The Green Flag of old Ireland, 

Yes, yet thy folds shall shine 
Across the land which gave thee birth, 

As Freedom's blessed sign ! 
What Irish heart would pour not 

His life-blood in the dust, 
To keep thee there for evermore 

In tenderness and trust ? 

In this connection, as pertinent to the remarks I am about 
to make, allow me to read an extract or two from late Eng- 



24 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 

lish newspapers, and I will make that the text of whatever in 
a conversational way I may say to you this evening. I quote 
from the speech of Digby Seymour, which you may all have 
seen in the papers received by the last mail. A most insulting 
speech by a bankrupt English barrister: — "Why, what is a 
Fenian ? A discontented Irishman in search of a grievance* — 
a tool for American insolence to menace the peace of Europe tvith 
— a thing in the lash, with which Yankee buncombe threatens to 
whip creation. (Cheers and laughter.) Was Phillips a Fe- 
nian? No. 

Allow me to quote from another authority to set the matter 
right. Speaking of the English ministry and the wrongs of 
Ireland, my authority says : " Misfortune teaches them no 
mercy, or experience wisdom. Vindictive in prosperity, ser- 
vile in defeat, timid in the field, vacillating in the cabinet, 
suspicious among themselves, discontent among their fol- 
lowers, piety active in subservience to their sycophantic 
clergy, power passive but in subjugating the people, they 
blunder on from one expedient to the other, refusing to let 
go their hold on the throat of Ireland." Do you recognize 
the language ? It was addressed by that great Irish orator 
Phillips, to the corrupt ministry of England. (Long continued 
applause.) 

But to return to the speech of Digby Seymour, whose argu- 
ment I take as that of the British government, in whose be- 
half it was made. He says that Phillips was always loyal to 
the throne and institutions of his country: — "Was Curran a 
Fenian ? No ; the warmth of patriotism never consumed the 
adamant of his loyalty." Now I will read from Curran in 
exposition of his sentiments : — " How have the last few years 
been employed by the English, but in destroying the land- 
marks of rights and duties' and obligations ; in substituting 
sounds in the place of sense ; in substituting a vile and cant- 
ing Methodism in the place of social duty and practical honor; 
in suffering virtue to degenerate into pleasure, and morality 
into hypocrisy and affectation." 



TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 25 

Do you recognize the language ? They are the stirring 
words of Curran to the corrupt politicians of his day. Digby 
Seymour is greatly mistaken in his authority. He then 
speaks of O'Connell : " Was O'Connell a Fenian ? No. When 
he spoke from the hall of Tara to ten thousand of his people, 
he never uttered a disloyal thought against the British throne 
or Constitution." If he did not, it was time he did. (Great 
cheering.) 

I now quote from the Saturday Review, of London: "Be- 
sides these men and the tailor commanding, there are brick- 
layers and watermen, clerks and printers in abundance, with 
of course, one journalist to do the 'felony in the Irish People, 
which is a feeble reproduction of the once famous Nation. A 
stray militiaman or two may be noticed in the lists, but none 
of the trans-atlantic branch of the society, which was supposed 
to have attained the most formidable dimensions ; and in the 
whole catalogue there is not one man of education and posi- 
tion to play over again the mock-heroic part to which poor, 
silly Smith O'Brien was prompted by his inordinate vanity." 

I now quote from the London Times: "The priests de- 
nounce them with the vigorous and telling rhetoric of their 
order ; the farmers will have nothing to do with them ; news- 
papers which might have been counted upon to defend Ire- 
land against the Saxon, exhaust the vocabulary of contempt 
against the too eager revolutionists. They are fools, ninnies, 
mere tailors and shop-boys playing at treason." 

Now, really, gentlemen, is it possible that fools, ninnies, 
and shop-boys, can so frighten the great English nation, that 
the whole British army should be called out, and the British 
navy sent up the shores of Ireland ? (Laughter.) Mind you, 
these are the stock terms that England always uses. Ameri- 
can soldiers who are here to-night, they called you the same 
names during our late civil war. They called you fools and 
ninnies. And when they sneered at a tailor, they did it — 
the London Times did it — well knowing the people of the 
United States had elected a tailor to be the head of this great 



26 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 

nation. And you may tell Andrew Johnson that this insult 
was not intended for the Irish, but for him, because of his 
being the chief of a free people. 

Their impudence in pretending to represent Ireland is 
unbearable ; and anything they may get at the next Assizes 
will be richly deserved. But this is not all. Even the land 
which is the birth-place of Fenianism repudiates them. Not 
only is the American Government suspected of being guilty 
of friendly intentions towards England, but leading men in 
the States and important organs of opinion declare Fenianism 
to be an imposture on their side of the ocean," etc. 

I have other extracts here stating that Mr. Seward and 
other members of our Government had informed the British 
Secret Office of the Fenian movement. Now I know that 
must be false, and for this reason. I remember (and I am 
indebted to Mr. Gallien, of St. Louis, for reminding me of it) 
that in 1851, when Shields came in with his resolution about 
Smith O'Brien, Mr. Seward made a speech in reply to the 
Irish delegation, and in that speech gave expression to these 
sentiments : — 

" The policy of England was the error of the age, and the 
fault of her systems. This is her sufficient apology ; but on 
an occasion like this, Ireland is entitled to a dispassionate 
vindication, and is entitled to our respect and our sympathy. 
That sympathy derives intenseness from the conceded virtues 
and proverbial virtues of Irish people. The plains of Water- 
loo, and heights of Quebec bear witness that they are brave 
and skilful in war — like the Greeks, they have in their 
decline enchanted the world with wit, and song, and eloquence. 
Confiding and generous to 'a fault, while in their whole his- 
tory does not occur one instance of the indulgence of unlawful 
ambition. Is not, then, the tribute proposed by this resolution 
due from the United States, on such an occasion, to such a 
people ? I shall be answered — that question of clemency is 
not for us but for Great Britain. This is true ; but men and 
nations are swayed by perseverance. It may be said, that 



teain's speech to the FEJSTIANS. 27 

while as individuals we may lawfully sympathize, we cannot 
express these sympathies as a nation. This seems to me 
equivalent to saying, that .we may indulge in unavailing 
sentiment, but shall not exercise active benevolence. There 
is only one code of morality for mankind, in all circumstances, 
conditions, and relations, and in direct and comprehensive 
obligations, bind them equally as subjects, citizens, and indi- 
viduals, and sects ; but it is said that we may not lawfully 
intervene in the affairs of another sovereign State." — This is 
the point. What does Mr. Seward say on the subject ? — " So, 
indeed, we may not, for judicious purposes, or even beneficent 
ones by force, but under law of nations, as perfected .on 
Christian principles. The several civilized States are re- 
garded as constituting one great commonwealth, while no 
one can rightfully encroach on absolute right of another, or 
■ interfere with the conduct of its domestic affairs." 

He goes on to discuss that question, but I will pass on to 
' another paragraph : — " The people of Ireland are affiliated to 
us by consanguinity, as we are to the people of Great Britain. 
Surely the younger may, without offense, offer its mediation 
upon a point of difference between the elder branches of a 
common family. And what if Great Britain should take 
offense ? We no longer stand in awe 6f her power, and she 
knows that right well. If she should repulse a benevolent 
and lawful suggestion, why then she would be in the wrong, 
and we should be justified. But Great Britain will not take 
offense," etc. He makes one more point. "Sir, while it is 
thus certain that we may with confidence appeal to Great 
Britain, the claim of Ireland upon us for intervention is un- 
answerable." 

If this were so then, I would like to know how it is to-day, 
when Irish blood has flowed like water upon every battle- 
field where Irishmen could fight for the Union, the Constitu- 
tion, and the Government. 

"But for our instruction and example during a period of 
near seventy years, Smith O'Brien and his associates, would

never have attempted to lift up from degradation his father- 
land. We have maintained nearly all that Ireland has lost 
by her exhaustion. Her poverty has added to our wealth ; 
her growing weakness to our own increasing strength. Could 
Ireland have retained or have taken back, in the hour of. 
need, the political forces which she has given up to us, that 
attempted revolution would have been successful." (Ap- 
plause.) 

I merely ask Mr. Seward to remember what he said in 
1851. But knowing that the reports to which I have referred 
were false, I yesterday telegraphed to Mr. Seward at Auburn, 
at which place he speaks to-night ; and where he is now pro- 
bably reiterating what he here says to me. In answer to 
my despatch I received this telegram. I will read both 
despatches ; — 

Everett House, New York, October 15, 1865. 
To the Hon. William H. Seward, Auburn, New York. 

I address the Fenian Brotherhood Wednesday night, Phila- 
delphia, Academy ; Irish Congress present. May I deny 
English assertion that Irish arrests are made through your 
advices ? 

The following is Mr. Seward's reply, which was made 
within half an hour after he received my message : — 

Auburn, N. Y„ October 16, 1865. 
To George F. Train, Everett House, New York : — 

I cannot depart from my habit of leaving my vindication 
against calumnies to an intelligent country, and a candid 

world. 

W. H. Seward. 

- (The reading of the above reply created the wildest enthu- 
siasm, rounds of cheers being repeatedly given by the au- 
dience for William H. Seward, Andrew Johnson, and George 
Francis Train.) 



TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 29 

Now, there is the lie direct to the Morning Post, to the 
London Times, to the Saturday Review, .and to the London 
Telegraph. (Cheers.) You can have nothing more straight- 
forward than that ; and I knew it must be so or I would not 
have sent the dispatch. I believe that is the first official 
denial of these unfounded reports that reach us by every mail 
from across the water. 

Now, it is about time for America to understand her posi- 
tion. I am sick and tired of hearing Americans talking of 
England as the mother-land. I thought it "had been explained 
long ago that England was not our mother-land. (Applause.) 

Three years ago I made a speech on this stage, and I re- 
member having seen in the London press, in one day, eight 
editorials upon it. (Laughter.) I rather think that what I 
say now may reach them also. I want them to understand 
that England is not our mother-land, but that the first man 
who came to this country from Europe was Christopher Co- 
lumbus. (Applause.) He was not an Englishman, but an 
Italian. The second was Americus Vespucci. He was not 
an Englishman, but a Portuguese. The third was Sebastian 
Cabot, a. Spaniard. Then, who settled New York? The 
Dutch. Was England their mother-land ? Who settled New 
Jersey? The Swedes. Was England their mother-land? 
Who settled Delaware ? The Danes. Who settled Baltimore 
and Maryland? The Irish Catholics. Was England their 
mother-land? Who settled South Carolina? The Hugue- 
nots. Was England their mother-land? Who settled 
Florida ? The Spanish. Louisiana ? The French. I have 
looked at the record, and I tell you that to-day, from the 
Lakes to the Gulf, and from Ocean to Ocean, we have not ten 
per cent, of English blood in our veins. (Great applause.) 
We have Irish blood in far greater proportion, the same that 
has flowed forth like water upon every battle-field of the war 
in behalf of our country. (Applause.) 

You know that the wisdom of Solomon was never better 
illustrated than in the case of the false mother, when, in order 



■ m ..' hfti " ' -» . '" " ■ n ,

to determine the true parent, he ordered the child to be cut 
in twain. We have found during this war who were our 
friends and who were our enemies. England is not our 
mother-land ; England is our grandmother-land. (Laughter.) 
It is about time, as I told them in the halls of London, that 
America should have a mother-land of her own. It occurs 
to me that the place in which a man is born is his mother- 
land. I happened to be born in Massachusetts, and I apolo- 
gize to the audience for it. (Laughter.) Seven generations 
were born under' the same roof, and therefore I can say 
England is not my mother -land. 

And allow me to say here, that if it should be said that I 
am endeavoring to ally myself with every or any popular 
sentiment that may arise, I would merely ask a reference to 
the facts. I am usually against the tide. Anything can go 
out with the stream — straws, lemon-peelings, stinking fish — it 
is only a strong fish that goes against the tide. Just as in the 
case of .mankind generally ; there are negative and positive 
men in the world. The negative man goes down the stream 
quietly, and with no effort on his part ; the positive man goes 
up against the stream, gaining steadily, it may be only an 
inch or two at a time ; but the people on the beach are watch- 
ing him. 

I stood alone in England for two years fighting for Ireland, 
for America, and for the common rights of humanity. (Great 
applause.) I told the committee who invited me here that I 
was not a Fenian, but that I had been an Irishman, and a 
better one than many of those whom you have elevated to 
high positions, and who, when thus elevated, have turned 
from you. I tell you, Irishmen, you are sneered at ; but you 
are fools to be sneered at any longer. I say, that one-seven- 
teenth of .this entire population is Celtic ; that you, Irishmen, 
are American citizens, and it is your own fault, if, instead of 
sending to Congress, miserable politicians, who will sell you 
out, you do Dot send there next fall, one hundred Irishmen. 

But to return to my text. I propose to commend to 
English lips the same poisoned chalice which English cun- 



TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 31 

ning had prepared for our own country. Lord John Russell 
said (I am merely changing the word, not the sense) that 
Ireland fought for Independence, England for Empire ; and, 
during the late war, England applied the same declaration to 
our own case in favor of the South. All that I ask now is, 
that America shall acknowledge Ireland as a belligerent. 
(Great cheering.) 

The Green Flag of Old Ireland ! 

A blessing on each fold, 
More tender than the earth's green breast, 

More bright than burnished gold ! 
What Irish bosom thrills not 

With patriotic dreams, 
While here, in free America, 

Thine Emerald beauty streams ! 

Our Government cannot very well interfere, for we know 
now the law of nations. England has taught us what to do 
in such a case. (Laughter.) What our Government must do 
is to remain strictly neutral (applause), while our Lairds, our 
Lyndseys, and our Gregorys, fit out a hundred, and, if neces- 
sary, a thousand Alabamas,. Sumters, and Shenandoahs, to 
sweep British commerce from the face of the earth. (Applause.) 
We must remain strictly neutral. We must put on board these 
pirate ships any quantity of Enfield rifles, Colt's revolvers, 
and munitions of war, with a view to running the blockade of 
Belfast, of Dublin, or of Cork. (Great applause.) And if the 
pickets already on the advance — "the fools and ninnies" — 
can create such dismay as they have created in the great 
English nation, what will be the condition of things when 
O'Mahony moves with the entire army ! (Cheers.) 

Ye sons of liberty, awake ! your hearths and altars are at stake ; 
Arise, arise, for Ireland's sake, and strike for John O'Mahony, 
Your Irish Eagle is not dead ; again his giant wings are spread, 
To sweep upon old England's head, and on with John O'Mahony. 
What soul but scorns the coward slave ? But liberty if for the brave. 
Our cry be Ireland or the grave, and on with John O'Mahony. 

(Great cheering, renewed again and again.) 



32 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 

In the discussion halls of London I told Englishmen to 
remember, when they sneered at Ireland, that they had no 
soldiers of their own at all. And your great barristers — your 
Grattans and Phillipses and O'Donnells and O'Connells — all 
these men, I told them, had come from Ireland, and that their 
great chieftains all over the world were Irishmen. I told 
them that the great man in Spain to-day (Marshal O'Donnell, 
the Premier) was an Irishman ? that the great man who won 
the battle of Kinchello, MacNear, the Duke of Magenta' was 
an Irishman ; that the leading man in the Austrian army to- 
day, Field- Marshal Nugent, was an Irishman. I told them 
they had produced only one great victory, and that was 
achieved under an Irishman, the Duke of Wellington. [Was 
he a renegade Irishman ? Yes.] The Irish do not live alone 
in Ireland ; they are dispered from their homes. There are 
two millions in England, five millions of Irish in America, 
and five hundred thousand in Australia. Under marry an 
English coat you will find an Irish heart. For the poor laws 
under English rule brought on the famine, and starved or 
drove them from their homes. Then America showed she 
was Irish in heart by sending out ship loads of food. 

When Englishmen asked why we did not put down the 
war, he told them we were fighting Americans, not English- 
men. He had been complimented about speaking good 
English. In future we should speak the American language. 
In Eussia the laws prescribe that the American language 
shall be taught. This country taught the English how to 
speak. 

I told them that the leading men in Australia were Irish- 
men; and you will find Murphy, and O'Shaughnessy, and 
Duffy there to-day. I showed them that the famine in Ire- 
land was produced by the poor laws and cruel treatment of 
that unfortunate country by England, and that America 
showed herself to be Irish in sending out ships of bread for 
suffering Irishmen and their starving families. When they 
asked me, " Why don't you put down the war in your own 



TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 33 

country ? " I replied that it was simply because we were 
fighting Americans ; that, had we been fighting Englishmen, 
we would readily have done it. (Applause.) 

When they complimented me on my using such good 
English, I gave them to understand that, in my opinion at 
least, the King's English in their hands was certainly not 
more improved than in mine, and that our nation might ere 
long adopt a distinctive language for its own' use. A special 
ukase has been passed in Russia requiring the language of 
that empire to be taught in ail the colonies within the juris- 
diction of the Czar ; and, therefore, why should we not follow 
the example thus set for our imitation ? 

I told them in England that we had given them a grammar 
by Lindley Murray, a dictionary and many other elementary 
works on the language, and that they could not spell the com- 
monest words. I asked them to spell "soldier," and they 
commenced with a hess and a ho and went on with a hell and 
a de and a hi and a he and a har. 

(The lecturer, at this point, digressed from his subject to 
notice the affected manners of certain classes in English 
society. His peculiar representations were very amusing, 
and we regret our inability to reproduce them.) 

Why, my friends, you know there are forty different 
dialects in as many counties in England. You go down into 
Wales ; and there to pronounce the smallest word you are 
obliged to open your mouth so very wide,, that the back of 
your head resembles an island. Yet they talk of their ability 
to speak English ! Why they know nothing about it, and 
much less about our country. They think that that little 
movement in Ireland is the Fenian movement. Why that is 
but a rocket, a blue light; nothing is done yet. There is an 
enormous power in secresy. No one knows your secret 
movements. No one knows what the Fenians are doing. 
There is a great power in keeping behind the scenes. 

Allow me to say one word in regard to our debt. The 

2 



34 train's speech to the FENIANS. 

English have said, " Why, you are rolling up an immense 
national debt." I say that that is so, and I ask them what 
right have they to monopolize all the debt of the world. 
Said I to them, " We will have a national debt one of these 
days that will make you ashamed of yourselves." But it 
requires only a retrospective glance at the debt of England to 
establish in your minds the fact that she is the mere pasturage 
of the aristocracy. It is terrible to see how they have fooled 
the people. England has sent her George Thompsons all 
over this country in order to emancipate our slaves. Then 
it is our duty, as England has done so much for our blacks, 
to do something for her whites. 

Mind you, the idea has been that when Exeter Hall took 
snuff we shoujd sneeze, and when the- London Times has laid 
an egg we should cackle. What I propose now is that, as 
England has emancipated four millions of our black slaves, 
we should send out a few George Thompsons to lecture all 
•over England, with a view to the emancipation of her white 
slaves. There are six millions of able-bodied Englishmen 
who are not even on a par with the negro slaves in the 
Southern section of our country; for while our forefathers 
admitted that a negro was three-fifths of a man, and thus far 
provided that he should be represented, the poor white people 
of England have no votes. England degrades them even 
below the level of our lately enslaved negroes. 

Who gets the thirty millions that are annually taken from 
the Exchequer of England for the expenses of the army? 
The people ? No ; it rests simply with the lords and titled 
nobility. The people have nothing to do with it. You will 
find that England is pastured off among thirty thousand 
families. The whole country is in the hands of thirty thou- 
sand families, and the entire national debt of England is in 
the hands of three hundred thousand families. I sincerely 
believe that as soon as the movement takes place in Ireland, 
which has not yet commenced, the national debt of England 
will fall like that [stamping his foot]. (Applause.) 



TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 35 

They have upheld it by the most gigantic paper-money 
system that the world has ever .seen ; and America for the 
last twenty years has been giving her the means wherewith 
to pay her national debt. Now let me tell you where the 
trouble is. England has ruined all the nations of the world 
— all that she could ruin being those who took her counsel. 
Look at the sterile lands and deserted ports and empty ware- 
houses of Portugal. England ruined Portugal by her miser- 
able free-trade policy. Again, go to Turkey. Turkey has 
been destroyed by England forcing her policy clown the 
throats of that people. 

You should always bear in mind that England's track 
around the world is one track of blood. It is simply the 
strong against the weak. Go where you will her record is 
the same in the case of every nation she has had in her power. 
Wherever England has coveted the division of a nation, she 
has introduced among the people of that nation some bone of 
contention. In Ireland, it has been religion — the Catholic 
against the Protestant. In this country, the negro was to 
break us up ; and now she has sent here her emissaries to 
divide the Fenian Brotherhood by fomenting a Catholic and 
Protestant war. Augustus Csesar prolonged a little while a 
misspent life in a singular and most odious state ; but the 
Koman Emperor only ruined virgins ; it was England that 
destroyed nations. 

I think it is time that the people of America should throw 
aside the miserable toadyism of the last hundred years, and 
be a nation of themselves, for we are now twenty-one years of 
age. (Applause.) We have been treated badly by England. 
You remember to have read of that little shivering band who 
came over here that they might have freedom of speech. 
The points of their career may be briefly summed. They cut 
down the tree and then built a school-house. The little 
colony grew. England taxed them. They paid the taxes. 
Time passed on. More trees down — more school-houses-*a 



36 train's speech to THE FENIANS. 

church. Then England taxed them more. They paid the 
taxes. But England wanting more money to carry on the 
war against France, imposed more taxes. They refused, and 
asked for representation in the British Parliament. You 
remember the rest. Out came the order — "We demand." 
Then came the stamp act, then the port bill. Overboard 
went the' tea and up went the flag. (Great applause.) 

The Declaration of a nation's independence was read from 
Independence Hall down here, by an Irishman. It was 
received right from the hands of Jefferson by an Irishman, 
and was first copied by an Irish editor. (Great applause.) 
Let me hear no more about the Irish being here by suffer- 
ance. They watched over the cradle of the country. They 
have been with it in its youth, and stood by it in its manhood. 
You will find that the very Capitol in which we hold our 
Congress, was presented to Washington by a Carroll, a 
splendid specimen of a noble Irishman. (Applause.) 

All through our early history, it will be found that the 
Irish were conspicuous. It was a newly arrived major-general 
that crossed the border, and marched on Quebec, and fell 
there — Major-General Montgomery. Sullivan, at Bunker Hill r 
was an Irishman. Mad. Anthony Wayne, of Stony Point, 
was an Irishman. But thus in our infancy, and while we 
were yet a child in the cradle, we kicked England out of the 
house. Time passed on ; our country increased t in extent 
and population, and then England, in order to carry on a 
war with Bonaparte, took our sailors from our ships, you 
remember. 

We told her that the flag covered the American citizen on 
the water as well as on the land. Again we fought, and again 
we kicked her about. Time passed on ; and then she found 
she could not fight us with armies, for England is not a fight- 
ing nation — she has always fought with the hired soldiery, 
with Hessians in our Eevolution, and with Swiss soldiers in 
the Crimea (and I had occasion to tell her people that so 



TRAIN'S SPEECH 'TO THE FENIANS. 37 

many quarts of beer and so many pounds of mutton-chop 
would fight). (Laughter and applause.) When she found 
that she could not fight us openly, she sent her emissaries to 
stir up feelings of sectional strife and bigotry, and finally 
kindled the embers of political disaffection into a blaze .of 
civil war. 

(At this point the speaker again alluded to the ignorance of 
Englishmen concerning the current events of the day in this 
country, and illustrated his meaning by personal anecdotes 
which repeatedly brought down the house in rounds of 
laughter and applause. The first illustration was that of a 
cockney Englishman, who, after many hums and haws, in- 
quired of the speaker, whether he was from Boston, and a 
reply being given in the affirmative, expressed his desire to 
know whether Boston was not one of the slave States. To 
this the speaker replied, by good-naturedly assuring his in- 
terrogator that Boston was noted for its abolition sentiments, 
and that Mr. Dred Scott was mayor of that city. Another 
inquisitive Englishman, desirous of stating the full particulars 
concerning the Professor Webster murder case, which oc- 
curred some years ago in Boston, informed Mr. Train that 
he had just noticed by the last mail, that the Hon. Daniel 
Webster, in a fit of aberration of mind, while in the prepara- 
tion of his great dictionary, had murdered the Eev. Theodore 
Parker. On another occasion, during the visit of Grantley 
Berkeley to this country, while looking from the window of 
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, upon a fine sleighing 
prospect (the season being winter), that gentleman expressed 
to Mr. Train a desire to take a sleigh ride, who immediately 
ordered John to put a couple of buffaloes in the steady and 
take Mr. Berkeley out. " Oh, no !" interrupted the frightened 
gentleman, "it does not make any difference to me, but I 
would much prefer if you would use horses." 

The lecturer then proceeded, referring to the higher classes 
of England as follows : — 



3-8 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 

You know that in England, there is the army, the navy, 
and the church. They send the elder sons of the nobility to 
govern India, Australia, Nova Scotia, etc. ; and the younger 
sons must be provided for, and are accordingly sent to col- 
lege and educated all alike. Well, then it is a toss-up for 
which shall go in the army, which shall go in the navy, and 
which shall enter the church. Nine times out of ten, the one 
naturally fitted for the church goes to the army, while the 
military man goes to the church. 

The consequences are, that they have got a rotten army 
and a rotten navy. The Bank of England is rotten to the 
core. I do not believe that to-day Rothschild can pay a 
shilling to the pound. And I sincerely believe, that two- 
thirds of those rotten old documents that have been handed 
down for three or four hundred years are forgeries, if we may 
judge, mind you, by what we have seen. (Applause.) 

Look at Canada ! No one can excite me more effectually 
than by saying that Americans want to annex Canada. An 
American coming from Canada to his own country, feels as if 
he had emerged from the darkness of night into the light of 
day. In America, we have labor-saving machines. We take 
a tree ; staves cut, hoops on, and a barrel is' made, and for 
three, four, or five cents it may be purchased. In Canada 
they cannot make it at all. 

Asa fair illustration of the two people, take the case of an 
American and a Canadian standing upon the bank of a canal. 
Says the Canadian to the American, "You can't jump across." 
"No, but I can throw you across." "I'll bet you can't," 
says the Canadian ; " put up your money." The money is 
wagered ; and the American takes the Canadian brother by 
the collar and the slack of his nether garments, and throws 
him half way across — splash into the water. He picks himself 
up, wades ashore and claims the money as having won the 
bet. " No, you've not won," says the American, " I missed 
the first time; but I'll throw you all day but I'll do it." 



TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 



39 



No, we want nothing to do with Canada. There are a great 
many Irishmen in Canada whom we stand by ; but we do not 
want to annex that God-forsaken land. Have you ever seen 
an old water-logged ship coming into port from a foreign 
country? That is England. When she comes mto port, 
notice the long sea-grass, the barnacles hanging to her sides- 
India, Nova Scotia,- Canada, Van Diemen's Land-all hanging 
to the old rotten hull, and gradually bearing her down to the 

bottom. 

What Canada should do, and had she any independence at 
all she would, would be to combine Prince Edward's Island, 
Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Canada into a confederation 
for an independent nation, under the idea of "Canada for 
the Canadians." I have been in Australia, .and I sincerely 
believe that Van Diemen's Land, New Zealand, South Aus- 
tralia, and Victoria, will again hoist the "five stars" that I 
saw floating in 1852, during that little revolution that was 
gotten up there. (Applause.) _ 

You of course, understand that these remarks are strictly 
neutral. (Laughter.). England is now blackguarding us 
through the press, and I will tell you, Mr. Eoberts, what you 
might do at this time. Go over and give $60,000 to Delaney, 
of the London Times. Then buy up Simpson, of the London 
Post and Beresford Hope, of the Saturday Revieiv. 

The way to get hold of that people is to give them a few 
bonds, for as we have seen in the case of the distribution of 
the Confederate bonds, there can be no appeal to their hearts 
which will exert a greater influence than that which is made 
through the medium of their pockets. I repeat, wherever 
we turn in the history of nations, we find that England has 
committed some gigantic crime. 

The Detroit Commercial Convention was a damaging dis- 
grace to America-got up by Canadians, managed by Blue 
Noses, and steered by the English. The Hon. Joseph Howe, 
of Nova 'Scotia, pulled the wires. Does America know that 



40 TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 

he was one of our bitterest opponents in this war ? I heard 
him deliver an anti- American speech in the Forum Discus- 
sion Hall, London, where he grossly insulted John G. Winter, 
of Columbus, Georgia, and when I rose to reply he bolted 
from the room. I wish I had been at Detroit to reply to 
him, you would only have found a grease spot on the floor. 
(Laughter.) Mr. Seward made 'the only point in sending 
Potter there to snub the Convention, and he did it well. 
Canada has been howling ever since. 

Mr. Train again ridiculed the idea of Americans wishing 
Canada. "Why, I would not recommend my Fenian friends 
around me to think for a moment of establishing an Irish 
republic there. God has blasted the energies of that people. 
Ten years in Scheiferderher's Hydropathic Institute would 
not wash the corruption, indolence and imbecility out of that 
miserable country. (Loud laughter.) That illustrates the 
stupidity of the Canadians. So long as they can draw 
money out of England they will keep on sucking. • The 
greatest, swindle of any was the twenty million sterling 
robbed from England in building the Grand Trunk Railway. 
That was the last sugar-tit. (Laughter.) The capital is sunk, 
the railroad wants repairing, the rails are worn out, the rolling 
stock used up, and the receipts not enough to pay ordinary 
expenses. The English party who are rolling over the land 
and condescend to allow the American people to toady to 
them, as we always do, are trying to galvanize the Grand 
Trunk into life again, by bridging Niagara and connecting it 
with the Atlantic and Great Western. Old Punch says: 
Never chain a live man to a corpse. Those Englishmen 
who are being banqueted everywhere, are all gentlemen, and 
have been friends of ours, so I will not fire on them just yet, 
on account of their having been invited and are the guests of 
an Irish American, James McHenry, who was joint partner 
with me in giving you Irish Pennsylvanians the Atlantic 
and Great Western Eailway. 



TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 41 

No,, we don't want and won't have Canada. France in- 
tends recapturing Quebec. Napoleon bides his time. The 
Fenian Brotherhood in Canada is organized in every town, 
but the organization is different from the American. 

England nurses her shiftless children by committing crimes 
on other nationalities. A young law student reminded me 
last night of the trial of Warren Hastings, the most stupen- 
dous legal rnpckery ever imposed upon a people, the grandest 
judicial farce ever enacted. (Applause.) The agent of the 
British East India Company tried for that which he did at 
their order. It was England arraigned at the bar, for the 
East India Company was England. It was England against 
whom the Irishmen, Burke and Sheridan, thundered, and 
England was convicted and bearded with eternal infamy, 
though the nominal offender escaped. ("That's so," and 
" Shame on England.") 

Her morning drum beat, to use a Websterian ; as it circles 
the earth, passes over a track of infamy, of outrage, of carnage 
and of blood. The London Times, speaking of Ireland, says 
that "man is a drug, and population a nuisance." 

Like Banquo's ghost see Emmet's spirit rise 

And shake its gory locks at her, while she 
"Avaunt ! Avaunt !" like Macbeth vainly cries, 

And would but cannot flee. 

Keturning from Moscow and St. Petersburg I passed 
through Sweden and Norway, and here I listened to the tales 
of the departed. I seemed to feel the presence of the Mael- 
strom. What causes that terrible pool ? Where does the 
water drop to? Is there another world below? I have 
seen birds and animals that have been forced over the falls 
at Niagara by the rushing of the waters ; but how feeble is 
that compared to the power that draws in both the little and

and it is fatal to any ship that wanders too close to its whirl- 
ing eddies. I should like to take a look into that subterra- 
nean cavern. "What skeletons ! What history ! Has Lord 
Palmerston organized a whirlpool for the Irish members of 
Parliament ? Humanity is weak. See how the men of the 
day are drawn into the stream. The whirlpool is now 
almost as large as that of Norway, and the skeletons of good 
men and honest men are packed along the cavern almost as 
thick as in the city of the dead, or the field of a hundred 9 
battles. The sexagenarians', septugenarians and octogenari- 
ans, comprising the English minority, cannot much longer 
fool the English people and Irish laborer by making England 
a pastor age and Ireland a desert for the aristocracy (of Sir 
John Yiiliers Shelly's stamp) by taxing the people who they 
always call the "mob." (Applause.) 



HYPOCEISY IS HER GREAT RULE OF 
DIPLOMACY. 

John Stuart Mill says, " an Englishman never feels safe un- 
less he is living under the shadow of some legal fiction, on 
agreement to say one thing and mean another.'^ 

Lying is her chief amusement, especially when she remains 
neutral. [Laughter.] Jefferson once said that, "he never 
found any general rule for foretelling what England would 
do, but that of examining what she ought not to do." 

The policy of England, said Gladstone (before he wished 
his name removed from the Confederate loan list,) is, " trust 
in the people tempered only by prudence, the policy of 
England toward Ireland, is distrust of the people tempered 
only by fear." 



TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 43 

Ireland pensively mourns her lost children who're gone, 

Scattered broadcast on every shore ; 
Some sleep in the deep, 'ueath the wild waves alone, 

Bat these live to right her once more. 
May Heaven pull down the cursed Saxon crown, 

That so long hath a gloom o'er her cast ; 
And grant you once more a chance, on that shore, 

To take sweet revenge for the past. 

England has copied, on a grand scale, the loathsome expe- 
dient of Augustus Caesar for prolonging a worthless life. But 
the Eoman Emperor only ruined virgins, England destroys 
nations. (Applause.) Euskin calls England " a money -making 
mob," and accuses the English nation of " despising literature, 
despising science, despising art, despising nature, despising 
compassion, and concentrating its soul on pence." (Laughter.) 

Fenianism is not understood. It means liberty or death. 
(Cheers.) The Order is older than the Eoman. Here are its 
Ten Commandments, taken from the Irish record before 
Christendom: " Every soldier was required to swear that, 
without regard to her fortune, he would choose a wife for her 
virtue, her courtesy and her good manners ; that he would 
never offer violence to a woman ; that as- far as he could he 
would relieve the poor, and that he would not refuse to fight 
nine men of any other nation. No person cpuld be received 
into the service unless his father and mother and all his rela- 
tives gave security that none of them should avenge his death 
upon the person who might slay him, but that they would 
leave the matter to his fellow-soldiers. The youth himself 
must be well acquainted with the twelve books of poetry, and 
be able to compose verses. He must be a perfect master of. 
defense ; to prove this, he was placed in a field of sedge reach- 
ing up to his knees, having in his hands a target and a hazel 
stick as long as a man's arm. Nine experienced soldiers, 
from a distance of nine ridges of land, were to hurl their 
spears at him at once ; if he was unhurt, he was admitted, but 
if wounded he was sent off with a reproach. He must also 



44 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 

run well and defend himself when in fight ; to try his activity- 
he was made to run through a wood, having a start of a tree's 
breadth, the whole of the Fenians pursuing him ; if he were 
overtaken op wounded in the wood he was refused, as too 
sluggish and unskillful to fight with honor among such valiant 
troops. Also, he must have a strong arm and be able to hold 
his weapon steadily. Also, when he . ran through a wood in 
chase his hair should not come untied ; if it did he was reject- 
ed. He must be so swift and light of foot as not to break a 
rotten stick by standing upon it ; able also to leap over a tree 
as high as his forehead, and to stoop under a tree that was 
lower than his knees. Without stooping or lessening his 
speed, he must be able to draw a thorn out of his foot. Finally, 
he must take an oath of fidelity to Ireland, and swear to die 
for his wife, his child, his home, his country and his God. 
(Loud cheers.) That is Fenianism. 

Oh, let us pray to God, boys, 

To grant the day, to grant the day, 
You may press your native sod, boys, 

In linked array, in linked array ! 
Let us give you arms and ships, boys, 

You ask no more, you ask no more, 
And Ireland's long eclipse, boys, 

Will soon be o'er, will soon be o'er. 

This country must have American ideas, manufactures, 
language, and a mother country of our own, says Andrew 
Johnson. (Loud cheers.) 

England takes away our cotton, sends it across the seas to 
her ports, transports it thirty miles to be manufactured, sends 
it back in goods to clothe the Fenian Brotherhood. [Shame 
on America for allowing it.] When England wants corn 
make her pay gold for it. Make laws that no cotton shall go 
to her ; send it out West to be worked up. That will touch 
her. She has no heart or soul ; you can only affect her 
through her belly or her pocket. [Loud laughter, and that's 
so.] In the Irish famine she repealed the duties on grain, 



TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 45 

and the idiots here called it free trade. He was not for pro- 
tection, he was for prohibition. He would not allow any 
manufactured goods to be imported from England. Call 
back our 1 ambassadors from abroad, those who are listening 
to sneers upon the country. They are not wanted there to 
toady to the British aristocracy. Charles Francis Adams is 
not an American. [That's so.] He referred to Bulwer's 
dispatch to Palmerston, in 1851, as follows : 

"The country is paralyzed by parties that do not think 
there is any possibility of their uniting on any great internal 
or external object. This of course paralyzes the Federal 
power, if power it can be called, and leave you at liberty to 
pursue to their consequences the project and advantages 
which your lordship has conceded from our Central Ameri- 
can relations." 

That was written from Washington by an English Embas- 
sador, who was shortly afterward recalled for it. 

The same letter said: "If the naturalized Irish ever adapt 
an American platform, I cannot conceal from myself the 
serious manner in which our American interests will be 
jeopardized." This tells the story. This Fenian movement 
is that Irish American, platform referred to. 

By this association you can be powerful. Pass resolutions 
iike' the following : 

1. Resolved, That the word English be unanimously 
dropped, and that the words American language be used in 
the future. (Loud cheers.) 

2. Resolved, As America is twenty-one years of age, it is 
time to establish a motherland of her own. (Applause.) 

3. Resolved, That the one hundred millions of dollars due 
for destroying our commerce shall be paid forthwith, or 
England must take the consequences of American neutrality. 
(Cheers and laughter.) 

4. Resolved, That France is the friend of Ireland. Louis 
Napoleon is not French. Every fifteen or twenty years there 



46 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 

is a revolution. They come regularly, and one will be along 
within two years. 

In regard to the last resolution, the speaker argued that 
Louis Napoleon was not France, and that, ere long, in accord- 
ance with the decrees of a special fate which seems to have 
manifested itself in regard to every member of the Bonaparte 
family, he would cease to reign. 

The question upon each of the above resolutions was taken 
as they were read, the vote being a unanimous "aye," and 
the result greeted with hearty cheers. 

Mr. Train resumed : You have sounded the tocsin of revo- 
lution, and soon an outbreaking will spread throughout 
Europe. The two Napoleons had endeavored to draw the 
Popes from Rome. In answer to the first, the ' Pope had 
called him simply " Comedian" and " Tragedian," in reply to 
his passionate outbursts. Responding to the latter, the last 
Pope had called about him representatives from all the world 
of three hundred millions of Catholics. The revolutions 
come as regularly as clock work; one will come in 1867. 
" How are you, Mexico ?" 

He would say a few words about that. Mexico would 
prove the Moscow of Napoleon III. Napoleon will fall, and 
the republic will again come up in 1867. Have you ever 
observed the singular addition of figures foretelling the' fall 
of a French dynasty? Here they are: 1794 — Fall of the 
monarchy. 1815— Fall of Napoleon. 1830— Fall of the 
Elder Bourbon dynasty. 1842 — Death of Duke of Orleans 
by fall from his horse, and hastening the revolution of '48. 
1867— You can draw your own inference — Napoleon's dy- 
nasty will disappear that year. [Loud cheers.] The notice 
starts from Ireland, and will spread throughout Germany 
and France in two years. 

England received an attack of apoplexy in the Crimean 
war. The second attack was that of American neutrality. 
The third will be her death through the Fenians. [Cheers.] 

England is simply an attache of France ; she drives the 



TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 47 

coach, and Napoleon rides inside. He uses her as a eatspaw 
to draw the chestnuts out of the fire. She has obeyed all his 
plans and designs. She fought the Eussians and the Aus- 
trians with France, as he wished. And now the head of the 
Fenians is in the Tuilleries, planning for the future. [Cheers.] 
It is with you, Irishmen, to follow out these promptings. 

Some of your people may try to sell you out with British 
gold. Thomas D'Arcey McGee [loud hisses] cannot be an 
Irishman. A cuckoo must have laid him in the eagle's nest. 
[Laughter and "that's so."] 

Everything charmed my senses in the beautiful Island of 
Joan. The land clove and the nutmeg, the tyre and the cas- 
sowary, and sugar and coffee, and that most luscious of fruits, 
the nangostine. But in this wonderful Garden of Eden" there 
is a tree of good and evil. Have you heard of the Upas 
tree ? It is no fable. Be careful how you approach it. The 
poison reaches where the winds blow ; nor tree, nor flower, 
nor shrub can live within its influence. Birds drop dead as 
they come within the circfe, and animals and creeping things 
are scattered among the dead. Each year the circle widens. 
The air is heavy. What is the terrible secret ? Inquire, 
and death ensues. There is a Upas tree in England. What 
magic influence has paralyzed the Irish members of Parlia- 
ment ? What is the matter with Mayune ? Has The Cork 
Examiner come too near, and has the Dublin paper been ex- 
ploring in that vicinity? [Laughter.] Yes, your Upas is 
the treasury. The sovereign fever freezes the blood. It 
destroys morality, and truth meeteth it but to die. Like the 
down on the peach, like the virtue of a woman, once lost 
they never return again. So, once under the branches of the 
Palmerston Upas tree, the soul of honor deadens, and men 
become the miserable creeping things of tyranny and shame. 
[Applause, and cries of " Shame !"] 

Your ancestors, so glorious in the eye of the world ; so 
bountiful and magnificent to their country; so sparing, so 
modest, so self-denying to themselves — what resemblance can 



48 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 

we find, in the present generation (of Englishmen), to these 
great men? I 

Do yon recognize the language ? 

It is the scorching sarcasm of Demosthenes, when rousing 
up the Athenians. [Cheers.] 

You can say to the rulers of Ireland : You lavish the pub- 
lic money in scandalous and obscene uses ; you suffer your 
allies to perish in time of peace, whom you preserved in time 
of war ; and your mercenary court, and servile resignation 
to the will and pleasure of designing, insidious ministers, 
abet, encourage, and strengthen the most dangerous and 
formidable of your enemies. [Shame.] 

Do you recognize the language ? Demosthenes is exciting 
the people against Philip. 

Cast your eye upon the magistrate (Lord Palmerston) 
under whose ministry you boast these precious improvements 
(in Ireland.) Behold him raised all at once from poverty to 
opulence ; from the lowest obscurity to the highest' honors. 
Look at his followers. Have not some of these upstarts built 
private houses and seats vieing with the most sumptuous of 
public palaces? And how have their fortunes and their 
power increased but as Ireland has been ruined and impover- 
ished. (That's so.) 

Do you recognize the language ? 

The orator was in Athens, and Phillip was' the mark he 
fired at. 

Why all this — Demosthenes is always eloquent. 

The servant is now become the master. The magistrate 
was then subservient to the people ; punishments and rewards 
were properties of the people;, all honors, dignities and pre- 
ferment were disposed by the voice and favor of the people ; 
but the magistrate has now usurped the rights of the people, 
and exercises an abiding authority over his natural master. 
(Applause.) 

Do you recognize the language ? 



train's speech to the FEXL\X|. 49 

Athens groaned under the biting rebukes of the eloquent 
Athenian, as Ireland is groaning now under English tyranny. 

But I have forgotten my resolutions. (Laughter.) Here 
are the others. 

5. Resolved, That Ireland is a belligerent. That America 
(as England did in our civil war) should remain strictly neu- 
tral, while our merchants and bankers, our Lairds and Lind- 
says, fit out one hundred Sumters, Alabamas and Shenandoahs 
to sweep the commerce of England fr,om the ocean, as England 
has done American commerce. 

6. And last, Resolved, That as England has shown neither 
soul, or heart, or humanity in our rebellion, and can only be 
reached through the belly and pocket, that we, the. Fenian 
Brotherhood and Sisterhood, will never use any article of 
English manufacture. We do not want protection, but pro- 
hibition. 

The two preceding resolutions were adopted with loud 
exclamations of delight. (The audience again rising and 
making the building shake with their cheers.) 

Andrew Jackson said the Union must and shall be pre- 
served. Andrew Johnson says the Union must and shall be 
restored. 

Wendell Phillips said we must have universal suffrage, or 
repudiation of the national debt. Afterward he repudiated 
his words though one thousand persons heard him. He made 
an assertion and backed down. . I will make one which I will 
hold fast to. Stop talking negro suffrage or the Northern 
Democratic vote will unite with the Southern vote and re- 
pudiate. 



BREAKERS AHEAD— TRAIN ON FINANCE. 

Formerly three hundred millions of currency inflated 
markets, and everything went kiting. Latterly three thousand 



50 TEATN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 

millions of currency, and everything stagnates ! What means 
this apathy? Our large merchants are all short. There 
were never so many borrowers. Our large bankers appear 
to be flush — money never was so plenty. But long loans 
don't take. Everybody loans on call ; hence money is used 
from hand to mouth. Nobody has confidence. No foundries 
building — no ships on the stocks — no factories going up — no 
new dwellings of consequence — no industrial enterprises 
under way — and yet three thousand millions of currency. 
What does it mean ? The negro suffrage party want to add 
seven hundred thousand votes to the suffrage. Will these 
new votes, added to the white Southern vote, willingly be 
thrown for taxation ? (No.) Will they pay Northern debt 
taxation without a murmur when they have lost almost 
everything? Again, will the working men's' vote,' say one 
million four hundred thousand, out of the one million eight 
hundred thousand, go for taxation when they do not hold 
any of the bonds ? (No, unless they stop Southern niggers.) 
Are these questions by germinating in the public mind 
occasioning this strange apathy ? Again, our bonds abroad 
are at 70. They may go higher. Already $400,000,000 are 
held in Europe — one-seventh the whole — interest payable in 
gold. Suppose they continue buying as evidently, if paid, it 
is the best investment in the world. Suppose they buy — 
$1,000,000,000,— six per cent, is $60,000,000 in gold. Shall 
we dig out that much ? Suppose free trade becomes popular, 
repudiation is certain. It may be this that causes the strange 
apathy. If we are solvent, England buys our bonds, and we 
import $150,000,000 more than we export. Gold will go to 
200 before Congress adjourns. Would money be long with 
the banker if they were obliged to redeem anything ? That 
is the question. This is my conviction which I will not 
repudiate. The loyal leaguers must still be blackguarding 
the South and talking negro suffrage, or three millions of 
votes will be thrown' in 1868 to wipe out the debt. (Loud 
applause.) 



TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 51 

Mind what I say— I believe in keeping sacred the national 
honor. But I think it is necessary to,, do something to 
frighten Europe from buying our bonds and the fanatics 
from debasing our franchise. I am willing that education 
should be the test. The debt is only safe by keeping it at 
home. Something must be done for the South before they 
will vote to be taxed for their destruction. 

The Evening Post, an English journal, without one particle 
of American feeling in its composition, says under 



A LITTLE MORE NONSENSE. 

A morning journal reports that the rise in the price of 
printing paper is disturbing the minds of the .people in those 
official bureaus at Washington where it is used and supplied ; 
and it is asserted that " the Treasury authorities are consider- 
ing a project of building a Government paper mill at Great 
Falls on the Potomac." Does it not occur to these people that 
a cheaper and quicker way is to take the duty off foreign 
paper ? That will make paper cheap, not merely to the Gov- 
ernment but to the people. 

Here is toadyism that will destroy this nation. England 
praised Thanatropsis a generation or two ago, and Bryant 
has sworn by English Exeter Hall and English Free Trade 
Hall ever since. Just think for a moment of an American 
newspaper advising the Government to have the notes on 
which their bonds are printed, manufactured in England. 
[Shame.] 

That is toadyism with a vengeance. French mission on the 
brain has destroyed the independence of the New York press. 
[Laughter.] 



52 teain's speech to the fenians. 



THE DAILY NEWS. 

The Daily Neivs is the only journal there that has preached 
the Sermon on the Mount. Although at one time I belonged 
to the church militant and opposed The News' policy, I now 
am a member of the church triumphant. The Neivs, by 
helping me to break up Chicago, did more- to elect Johnson 
than all the Abolition papers in the country, and was the first, 
to publish all your Fenian meetings. [Loud cheers.] The 
Fenian Brotherhood will never buy The World; they have 
voted down all articles of English manufacture. [Laughter.] 

The whole Atlantic Ocean is paved with the skulls of ne- 
groes whom Englishmen threw overboard trying to introduce 
slavery into our country. [That's so.] He was opposed to 
negro suffrage. He was for the rights of the white man, not 
the black man. England has four hundred million dollars 
of our bonds, for which in twelve years we must pay three 
times that amount. . We must stop this going abroad or we 
will be ruined. We had better attend to this matter and let 
the negroes alone. We must respect the rights of the white 
man. We have been talking negro ever since I was born. 
By killing slavery they have destroyed the slave. Eead my 
discussion with Cassius M. Clay three years ago, and the Lon- 
don Times' 1 editorial thereon. I told them that I did not wish 
to see the poor negro destroyed. 



ONE MORE LIE NAILED. 

The London Morning Post, Lord Palmerston's organ, says : 

" The designs of the conspirators," as stated by the counsel 

for the crown, "partook of the character of socialism in the 



TRAIN'S SPEECH TO THE FENIANS. 53 

most vicious and dangerous shape. The lower classes were 
led to expect a redistribution of the property of the country, 
and that any man who possessed more property than another 
had an advantage over his' fellows, which should not be per- 
mitted. The operations of this revolution were to commence 
by the indiscriminate massacre and assassination of all those 
above the lower classes, including the Roman Catholic clergy- 
men, against whom their animosity is particularly directed 
for their opposition to the views of the brotherhood." Such 
was the end and object of this so-called national movement in 
Ireland, which we are assured by Mr. Barry will be proved 
on the trial to have been " manifested in writings, both public 
and private," which will be brought home to the accused. 

I pronounce that a malicious lie. [Cheers.] The Irish are 
not assassins. The Irish did not build pirate ships to run the 
blockade. The Irish did not call American soldiers fools, 
ninnies and tailors. The Irish did not bombard Copenhagen, 
and then some generations later let their Prince Regent marry 
a Danish Princess, and then sell out the. Danes to the highest 
bidder, as England did in the Schleswig Holstein affair. 
[Applan.se.] Did the Prince of Wales find something sound 
at last in Denmark ? Hamlet would not have treated his sis- 
ter so. Did the Irish tie Sepoy soldiers on English cannon 
and fire them off for amusement? [Shame and groans for 
England.] The counsel for the crown has lied when he calls 
the Irish assassins. England cannot tell the truth. There is 
no law for the poor; their trial by jury is a farce. I remem- 
ber a case where one Sir John Villiers Shelley openly insulted 
every woman in England in the Queen's drawing room, yet 
because a poor landlord brought the charge, Lord Lanover 
told the corrupt Judge that it must be an illusion. , [Laughter.] 
The Onanized Baronet, however, has at last been kicked out 
of Westminster, to make room for John Stnart Mill, as well 
as kicked out of English society, yet The Times censured me 
and cleared the member of Parliament. Shelley and Lord 
Campbell own largely in The Times. Did they get some of 



54 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 

the Confederate loan? Beresford Hope (Saturday Review 
jn'oprietor), denies losing. So does Delane, and Morning Post. 
Hope is the eye glared snob who called Seward an unprinci- 
pled knave, and Lincoln an incapable pretender. I remem- 
ber his once testifying before Judge Yardly that the flange 
of the Bayswater Street Eail was a foot and half wide. 
[Loud laughter.] 

The English press are in the witness box, and we have got 
them tight — a palpable hit. They squirm. They deny — but 
nobody doubts their guilt. They say they have not lost. Of 
course not. We, Wall street people, always put down so 
much in the stock to the money writer. If it goes up he 
makes. If it goes down he loses nothing. The same was 
done in Londbn. Mason made the arrangement when I was 
in St. James street. The list is correct as it stands, as can be 
proved from the Southern archives. 

, We who have been treated so badly by England wish to 
take the right position in regard to neutrality. Be organized ; 
let your movement be no failure. Ireland has not to-day all 
the Irishmen. Tens of thousands are in the streets of London. 
Beneath many an English coat you will find an Irish heart. 
All through England revolution is ripe. Thousands of work- 
ingmen will aid you. More will fight for you than will fight 
against you. 

I spoke four years ago to an excited audience in London 
of the Sons of Saint Patrick. The Downfall of England speech 
was copied all over the world. Shortly afterward I was in 
jail ; they said for debt ; yet I had twenty thousand pounds 
in the hands of .my English bankers at the time. [Applause.] 
And some of those bankers who did the fiddling will have 
to pay«the fiddler. [Laughter.] Mr. John O'Mahony must 
stop the howling of the English press. Turning to Mr. Eob- 
erts, the Chairman and President of the Central Council, Mr. 
Train said, Why don't you send over two hundred thousand 
dollars in the bonds of the Irish Eepublic and divide them 
among the London newspapers ? [Laughter and applause.] 



train's speech to the fenians. 55 

Then they will swear by Ireland as they did by the Confed- 
erate Government. [Laughter and " That's so."] 

In conclusion let me advise you when you vote again to 
abolish all State sovereignty, Monroe doctrine and free trade 
absurdities ; abolish bribes to Presidents ; abolish Electoral 
College policy, and open the President to election from the 
people ; [cheers ;] abolish Ministers to foreign Courts, and 
establish commercial agents instead. 

Establish Father Mathew societies under the leadership of 
my friend Carey here in every town. Shake hands with the 
clergy,* who are really with you at heart [cheers], although 
some of them have opposed your organization. Educate 
your children to love God, love truth, love virtue, and be 
happy. [Applause.] Avoid the rum shop as you would 
the plague — [laughter] — and leave American women to drink 
whisky under the scoundrelly advice of the family doctor — 
and American young men to get the delirium tremens b}^ 
1 paling around the bars of our hotels — but don't let it be said 
that Irishmen are drunkards. No drunkard can belong to 
the F. B. [Applause]. Swear by Andrew Johnson. [Cheers.] 
The Eadicals intend to impeach him this winter. Elect your 
own members of Congress, and cry Ireland for the Irish. 
[Loud cheers.] 



Ye sons of liberty arise, 
Your hearths and altars are at stake, 
Arise ! arise ! for freedom's sake, 
And strike with John O'Mahony. 

(Loud applause.) 

Your Irish eagle is not dead, 
Again his Irish wings are spread 
To sweep upon old England's head, 
And strike with John O'Mahony. 



(Loud cheers.) 



56 train's speech TO THE FENIANS. 

What soul but scorns the cursed slave ? 
Oh ! liberty is for the brave ; 
Your cry be Ireland or the grave, 
And on with John O'Mahony. 

(Loud and continued applause, the entire Circle on the 
stage rising with the audience to cheers proposed for Mr. 
Train, Mr. Seward, the President, and others.) 

Mr. Train having spoken for two hours, he withdrew, when 
some of the Fenian orators came to time, and eloquent 
speeches were made by Col. Eoberts of New York, Hine and 
Powers of Massachusetts, Knightof Ohio, Gibbon, head Center 
for Pennsylvania, Mr. Walsh, Gen. Sweeny,. McDermott and 
others. The Philadelphia press was fully represented on the 
stage. 

The meeting was, in every respect, a great success to Mr. 
Train and the Irish cause, to which the proceeds were all 
eiyen.
